Re: Does Using an NFA Item in a Personal Defense Situation Put You in More Legal Jeopardy?

I am not a lawyer and do not interpret anything I say as legal advice.

I think there are three questions that arise when and NFA device is used in a Self Defense situation:

1. Were you legally justified in Self Defense? In another words same rules apply as any other situation/non-NFA device.
2. Were you in legal possession of the NFA device?
3. Mitigating or Aggravation circumstances.

Of course the prosecution, if it goes to trial, will try to use it or anything against you to make you look bad but I don't think legally there is anything about NFA items that prohibits you from using them in Self Defense.

You also risk the loss of the item as any other.

Someone, anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.
